Which Thanksgiving Gift Boxes Do Brands Order Most?
Brands order six Thanksgiving box styles more than any other, and the table lists each one with a starting size and board.
| Style | Best for | Common inside size | Board |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two piece gift box | Client and staff gift sets | 250 x 200 x 80 mm | 1.5 to 2 mm grayboard |
| Mailer gift box | Gifts that ship to each address | 254 x 178 x 76 mm | 1.6 mm E flute |
| Treat box with window | Fudge, candy and caramel apples | 152 x 102 x 51 mm | SBS 350 GSM with PET window |
| Cookie box with divider | Six decorated cookies | 245 x 165 x 30 mm | SBS 350 GSM |
| Pie box with window | One 9 inch pie | 254 x 254 x 76 mm | SBS 400 GSM |
| Favor box | Place settings and small treats | 76 x 76 x 76 mm | SBS 300 GSM |
Every size is a starting point and bakeries that sell whole pies use our custom pie boxes with a window in the lid. Most gift orders come from companies, which raises the question of how a brand sends them.
How Do Companies Use Thanksgiving Gift Boxes for Clients and Employees?
Companies use Thanksgiving gift boxes to thank clients and employees with one printed box that carries the logo outside and a message inside the lid. The gift lands before the Christmas rush when desks and inboxes are still quiet enough for people to notice it.
Client gifts that ship straight to each office travel in a custom mailer box with a printed insert that holds every item in place. Employee gifts handed out in person look premium in rigid boxes with a lift off lid.
Food goes into many of these corporate gifts, so the inside of the box matters as much as the print on the outside.
How Do You Print Thanksgiving Packaging in Fall Colors?
Thanksgiving packaging looks right in deep orange, burgundy and warm gold printed in CMYK or Pantone with a matte coat.
A copper or gold accent catches the light on a dark box, and our guide to foil stamping explains how it works. The last question is how early to order so the boxes arrive before the holiday.
When Should You Order Thanksgiving Gift Boxes?
Order printed Thanksgiving gift boxes at least 28 business days before the day you plan to pack them.
| Step | Business days |
|---|---|
| Dieline and artwork approval | 3 |
| Printed sample | 7 to 10 |
| Production after approval | 8 to 10 |
| Free shipping across the US | 3 to 5 |
| Total with a printed sample | about 28 |
A plain sample in place of a printed one saves about 5 business days. Many brands book their custom Christmas boxes on the same artwork run to cover both holidays with one order.
